IM BACK ON BOARD! She owned the X Factor stage. We know she isn’t the best vocalist but she did pretty well considering she was doing a full on routine. Best guest performer of the series!

Definitely a grower. I think it takes a little too long to get to the chorus. You hear a lot of weird at once at the start. Once it kicks in it kinda makes sense.

LOL. It’s a good job she wasn’t in charge of single choices.

I think there are some interesting bops in the form of Joan of Arc, Wasabi and Strip (which is good when it finally gets going). I really like Monster in Me and I assume Think About Us will be released as that seems quite accessible. None of the others really stand out for me at the moment. There’s kind of a mid-tempo, doesn’t really go anywhere feel with some songs giving me early 00s American girl group vibes.

Told You So isn’t doing anything for me unfortunately. A bit skippable.

Still it’s 50 seconds of her basically patting herself on the back LOL

With the discussion around Nicki’s part being too long in Woman Like Me, I thought it would be interesting to see what versions of their singles which had collaborators everyone prefers

Nicki Minaj’s part is too long. The radio edit without her is better.

Agreed.

This. The songs were perfectly good on their own. At least this one starts with the collab instead of adding them in afterwards and making the song less good.

I prefer local radio really as BBC stations don’t quite cater for me. I find a lot of the Radio 1 DJs quite irritating to be honest. I can only listen if it’s Greg James, Scott Mills or Alice Levine which is guess is my age. The same with Radio 2... it depends on the host if I tune in. Music wise both play stuff that I like alongside songs that make me turn over - either too bangy and generally devoid of melody (R1) or too fuddy duddy (R2).

Shocked at Kylie. It’s just such a blah nothingy song.

And this is her day! Woop!

Especially Love Yourself.... :P

God forbid an artist aiming for the top. Anyone who aims for higher than #44 is such a total douche.

Tonight’s was good?! :huh:

Yes, Harry Styles and Liam Payne. Who on earth has heard of those two?!

Rak-Su 10/10 Lloyd 8/10 Sam 5/10 Jack and Joel 4/10 Sean and Connor 2/10 Leon 1/10 Cutkelvins 0/10

The Cutkelvins were awful. Also Louis saying a song that’s gone gold and was Top 10 for 10 weeks isn’t well known. LOL!

I don’t think that’s the reason. I think it’s that his voice is so whiny! And his diction is awful.

So people actually enjoy this Grace character? She has been hyped up as this great songwriter but I find most of them quite forgettable and can’t tell what she’s actually saying half of the time. For me the most overrated one this year in an attempt to be cool. She was OK last night but nah. Format is great though. The new set makes it feel much fresher and it’s nice to cut down all the crap and fill it with stuff actually happening.

The shot with the window cleaner man is just odd. And some of the cuts around the party scenes with the slow mo don't quite work. Love the strutting... kinda wish more people joined her in the strut and it zoomed out.

Only if you click and watch

In a word... yes.
